A 21-year-old man has died after the car he was driving rolled on a private property in the states south-east this morning.
A police spokesperson said the man was driving a 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser tray utility up a steep dirt slope on a property on Leongatha-Yarragon Road about 1.40am when the vehicle stalled causing him to lose control.
It is believed the vehicle rolled while the driver was attempting to navigate off the slope.
The driver, from Leongatha, died at the scene while a passenger from the vehicle who was not in the car at the time, was not injured.
This area is a regular gathering place for the purpose of four-wheel-drive and off-road motor cycle riding.
Police are investigating the incident and will prepare a report for the Coroner.
